And Jonathan came to meet the king at Joppe with glory, and they saluted one another, and they lodged there.
And he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom,
and with him a new army into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there.
And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city:
because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it.

You hold Joppe, and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem,
which are cities of my kingdom:.
